THBRE is no greater nuisance than
drunken man. He is apt to be insolent,
generally impertinent and always foolish.
A law should be passd offering reward
to every person who might give a
drunken man a right lively humping,
lust as bounties are offered for the
destruction of predatory beasts. There
is no public nuisance which can compare
with drunken man and he should be
abatsd

MORRIS FIsHBEIN is the last one OF
the gang to don the garb of the Benedict.
Morris could always make the female
heart futter with delight, but he seemed
to be welded to bachelorhood and spent
years in st. Paul after quitting this
county, heart whole. Later he went to
Aberdeen, Dakota and there met his
fate. Morris is first class fellow and it
by no means detracts from his eligibility
that he has made a fortune while yet
young in years.

A Brown county young man is in
trouble. He is young Polander and
lives near Coopesrtown church. He has
a tender regard for the fair sex and had
agreed to marry young lady of his
neighbOrhood. Later he became &C.
quainted with another young lady of
Two Rivers whom he also wooed and
won. The wedding day was set, the
bans were called and the guests invited.
But the bridegroom failed to materialize.
He paid the expenses incident to the
preparation for the wedding but refused
to marry. The girl began proceedings
and on Sunday Sheriff BoIen went out
and inveigled his man across the county
line and then served the papers on him
for breach of promise suit.
1t seems the poor fellow is between
two fires. The first girl threatened to
sue him if he married the Two Rivers
girl and the Two Rivers girl sues him
because he doesn't. The advice of the
elder Weller to ''beware Of the widows
might with propriety be extended so as
to embrace the girls, in his case.

of Racine for paper. But the person

should first experiment with a weekly.

of God. Something more radical il
necessary. There must be toning-
up in the Christian portion of the COM
munity. Perhaps there never was an
hour in the history of Christianity
when deep, thorough moral and spirit
ual reformation was more needed than
at present. If the Christian Church
would Utterly remove her hand from
the Sabbath secular sheet; if Christ
ian parents would neither touch them
selves, nor advertise their business,
nor permit to come into their homes
sheets that deal constantly and con-
spicuously with social scandals and
displayed reports of Infamous crimes,
the effect would soon be seen. The
cleaner papers, instead of having the
smaller, would soon have the wider
circulation, and the news-sheets that
cater to depraved tastes, finding a
loss of patronage attending such a
course, would be quite sure to change
the moral tone of their columns, and
clean their pages for entrance into
purer homes.

dover trustees, gave readings twice,
and there were concerts by the dozen.
l am sure have noted an amount suf-
ficient to show that the sixteen days
were not idle ones.
After the Assembly broke up these
people who displayed such intemper-
ance in the line of meetings devoted
themselves to a week not of rest, but of
temperance meetings and then nerved
themselves for ten days of the "two
Sans" Zones and Small). Before their
arrival had shaken the dust of Round
Lake from my feet but learn from the
newspapers that enormous crowds of
people came to hear them. 1t was a
great change to go from Round Lake
to Saratoga. The distance of these two
places from each other is but IL miles
but 1900 miles distance could not
show two places more utterly unlike.
A clergyman complained in one of the
papers that the newspapers never gave
any details of Saratoga save those
which related to gambling and horse
racing, whereas there was no other
place where there were so many church
services, where so many talented di-
vines met together, and where more
attention was given to the
Masters work. All that may be true,
but to one who looks at it for few
days, who sees it's mammoth hotels,
hears the continual music, sees the fine
turn-outs and breaths the air of gayety
and then goes away to everyday hum
way tangle itself up with that of the
village we heard of years ago whose
name among the nations was "Vanity

Death on Ants.

A correspondent sends to the Boston
Journal this recipe for the destruction
of ants, and guarantees its certainty ::
Mix with fine granulated or powdered
sugar paris green in sufficient quantity
to color the sugar, say one salt-spOon-
full to a teaspOonful of sugar. Add a
few drops of water to the sugar, and
stir so that all the sugar will be suffi-
aunero IL. THIS rniNturo placed in
the path of the ants will be eaten by
them and will kill the whole colony in
a few days, whether in building or
upon lawn. This 1 have tried and
know it to be effectual. The quantity
named above is sufficient to extermi-
nate them from any house. Care
should be taken in mixing not to
breathe any dust which may arise from
the compound. Vienna green, anoth-
er compound of arsenic, or the white
arsenic itself, will answer the same
purpose. For the destruction of car
pet bugs, pieces of bright red flannel,
placed where there are carpet bugs,
will be eaten by them in preference to
most other fabrics. The flannel
soaked in solution of white arsenic
will probably be eaten by them as
readily, and the result will be death to
the pests.
